On arriving at the sand spit a number of large gulls drew our attention including 5 Pallas’s Gulls and a Black-tailed Gull. Whilst watching these several [...]

Bird Watching at Khao Yai – Thailand Birding
February 16th, 2015 Nick Khao Yai national park has long been a favourite place for birders to visit, but birding there can be a bit hit and miss; at its best there can be plenty of sightings of colourful and enigmatic forest species; on other days it can be hard to see anything much at all, particularly with the [...]

February 12th, 2015 Nick Yesterday morning I found myself with some free time in which I decided to head into town and visit Suan Rot Fai where a Hartert’s Leaf Warbler has been in residence for a few weeks. The information I had been given by others who had already seen the bird was that it had been occupying [...]
Lung Sin Waterhole – Thailand Birding
January 1st, 2015 Nick Last week I made a visit to Lung Sin waterhole at Kaeng Krachan national park. As ever it was a popular place with birders and photographers and it was essential to book a place in the hide; the staff at Ban Maka did this for me. There has been no rain for many weeks in [...]

Limestone Wren Babbler in Kanchanaburi – Thailand Birding
May 16th, 2014 Nick More than 10 years ago I visited Hellfire Pass, in Kanchanaburi, because I was interested in the history of World War II from that area. As the site was partially forested I took my binoculars and was lucky enough to see a pair of Limestone Wren Babblers, the crispifrons race rather than the calcicola race [...]

Photos from Huay Mae Taeng Reservoir – Thailand Birding
May 16th, 2014 Nick A few days ago I got up early and drove to Huay Mae Taeng Reservoir in Ratchaburi province; leaving at 5am I was there for around 6.30. Unfortunately the water level was high so there was only a little marginal habitat in which to find birds, on top of which a large area on the [...]

Nesting Small Pratincole – Thailand Birding
May 3rd, 2014 Nick A few weeks ago I found myself in the town of Chachoengsao with time to kill, so I drove out to Klong Si Yat Reservoir, a location I had passed in 2013 on my way to somewhere else, in order to see what I could find there. Most of the species I found were the [...]
